Families of the Children of Timothy4 Washburn and Hannah (___)

 

 

         Most of the children of Timothy and Hannah Washburn settled in Connecticut Colony. Daughter Mary is believed to have been the one who married Joseph Washburn, of New Milford, CT, and will be covered under his family. I have no record of the families of sons Thomas and Ephraim Washburn and daughter Betty Washburn. I have added the families of some of the children of daughters Hannah and Martha, but I still have no marriages for many of the grandchildren of Timothy and Hannah Washburn, so this family is still incomplete, and will be added to as new information is uncovered.
